Debugging in Cougar

Launching the Application from the IDE

Create a debug profile in your IDE with the following characteristics:

Main class	Your `Launcher` classs, which is in the `launcher` project if you used the archetype
VM parameters	-
Program parameters	-
Project/module	`<yourService>-launcher`

Of course you may choose to use a non-launcher project, or create a wrapper around com.betfair.cougar.core.impl.Main if that suits you.

The launcher project was created for you by the Cougar Maven archetype.

Open up a shell window and type mvnDebug -P run initialize in the launcher project.

Maven will start a JVM but wait for you to attach a debugger on port 8000 before continuing.

You might also want to trace your requests.
